I am really excited about baseball season. Pitchers and catchers report next week !
People say that cold weather and sickness isnt connected, but yet it seems like so many people get sicker in the colder months.
I never adjusted, but i lived farther south (Orlando). At least Gainesville has a few more cooler days.One adjusts; I just can't imagine how my grandparents did it without A/C ... except they knew no different ...
actually can get quite cold in Gainesville. There's usually about a 20º spread in winter; 20º here is often 40º in Orlando ...I never adjusted, but i lived farther south (Orlando). At least Gainesville has a few more cooler days.
But how often does it get cold in Gainesville when its cloudy ? I bet most of the cold nights there have a clear sky.actually can get quite cold in Gainesville. There's usually about a 20º spread in winter; 20º here is often 40º in Orlando ...

You can say that about most anywhere. Coldest nights correlate to clear skies.
Yeah but its not unusual to see cloudy skies and temps below freezing in most areas at least once or twice a year. I would be interested to know how often Gainesville has freezing temps with a lot of cloud cover.You can say that about most anywhere. Coldest nights correlate to clear skies.
I remember that... I have a friend who used to live in Ocala, and it would get much cooler there than Orlando.actually can get quite cold in Gainesville. There's usually about a 20º spread in winter; 20º here is often 40º in Orlando ...
I don't know how many days that Gainesville would have freezing temps with cloudy skies, but they only average 15 days with freezing temperatures a year anyway.Yeah but its not unusual to see cloudy skies and temps below freezing in most areas at least once or twice a year.

I would also be curious to know if Gainesville has ever had a daily high below 32. Im sure it has happened at some point since records began.I don't know how many days that Gainesville would have freezing temps with cloudy skies, but they only average 15 days with freezing temperatures a year anyway.
... and usually Ocala is 10º or so warmer than Hogtown; there is something about that Prairie that tends to stop cold air, which is why I drew a line in the sand (literally ... LOL) about moving any further south than the north Millhopper area ...I remember that... I have a friend who used to live in Ocala, and it would get much cooler there than Orlando.
No time to search, but it was very close in 1983, 1985 and 1989 ... back to the salt mine now ...I would also be curious to know if Gainesville has ever had a daily high below 32. Im sure it has happened at some point since records began.

remember too ... 15 is an average; probably 4 or 5 this winter but there have been many with far more than 15 ...
Actually i think the weather is probably more miserable in the summer in a place like Gainesville than it would in a place like West Palm Beach. I would imagine in FL the closer to the coast you are the more tolerable the summers are. And on the east coast of FL you probably get a nice breeze most of the summer.My wife (who grew up in Montana so she hates cold weather) misses Orlando. I told her if we ever live in Florida again (God forbid), I am not moving south of a St. Augustine to Gainesville to mouth of the Suwanee River line. The weather gets much more miserable, and in general the people get ruder, the farther south you go of that line.
Have you come down with it? I've heard it's pretty bad this year, I don't think I've ever had it and haven't had a flu shot either. Where I work we've had numerous people coming down with it though and I hear some schools have closed for a few days because it's been so bad.
